I forgot to mention I was using Openbox 3.5.2 with this panel problem, but I
was able to get the panel to work correctly with Openbox 3.5.0, not sure what's
going on since 3.5.2 with tint2 worked in the previous version of Slackware64
14.0

I managed to fix this with Openbox 3.5.2 from GIT.
Tint2 is really great, but I can't imagine it's bug free, and I really would
hope that this project lives on and gets updates to it, I've occassionally run
across things, but I see people submitting reports and there's been no
changes to the code it looks like for several years, how sad.
Truth is there isn't much to replace it for the small window managers looking
for a taskbar.
PLEASE don't let this project die!
I hope someone will awaken it and continue developing releases...
THANKS

Hi there! Thanks for your interest in tint2 and the kind words.
I am not one of the main devs, I only contributed a few small patches (e.g. the
launcher), but I am still using tint2 daily and I will try to keep it working.
Unfortunately I know next to nothing about low-level X programming so I am not
of much help with the kind of problems that appeared lately. On top of that, I
have very little free time to tinker with it :(
However I've been working on two other features that I really wanted (a system
resource monitor graph and a module that can display a text genereated by a
script that is executed periodically). TBH Conky would be the right tool for
that, but I don't have enough screen space to show tint2 and conky
side-by-side. So I implemented these features in tint2. The cloned and patched
code is in https://code.google.com/p/tint2-mods2 . It works, but the code is a
bit messy and I have been fighting for a long time a memory leak that was hard
to debug. The result is quite nice (I attached a screenshot).
